Last night I heard Blake laugh out loud while he was sleeping.......sooooo cute!! This boy also smiles a LOT. And he has these cute little dimples when he smiles. He loves to be cuddled but he also doesn't mind just hanging out on his own. He is such a good little boy. He is still sleeping most of the day. There was one night when he slept for about 6 hours straight but the rest of the nights he's been up every 3-4 hours. Getting better so I can't complain.
With Derek having the past 2 weeks off, we've slowly been able to get a few things done around the house. Mostly, though, we've just enjoyed our beautiful blessings and tried to catch up on sleep. Blake's room is pretty much done now.
Derek has also been really good about making sure the girls get the attention they need right now. The day after we got home from the hospital he took the girls to MiniTown for a birthday party.
On Labor Day he even took the girls to Sea World to take advantage of the water park one last time.
The day before the c-section Derek's co-workers had a baby shower for us. We were overwhelmed by their generosity! I barely know a few of the people he works with and the rest I don't know at all. I guess that just goes to show what a good man my husband is by being so well liked by his co-workers. I was finally able to meet Gen. & Mrs Otto for the first time. It's nice to be able to put a face with a name I hear all of the time. Since Derek works in a secure building we couldn't take any pictures, but I took a picture of all of the cute bags when we got home.
Blake went back to the hospital Friday for his PKU blood test. They got him good because he was still bleeding like crazy from his heel a couple hours later. Poor little guy! Derek said he just whimpered when they did it though. He also broke out in a rash that night........it was gone by the following night. Not sure what it was -- maybe just a heat rash??
Grandma Huber is here visiting right now. Everyone is so excited to see her!
